A New Mission for Hope.

Summary

The content reflects on the concept of hope through a free verse poem, presenting it as a lost entity that has journeyed through space and may have found a more welcoming place to thrive, while the author remains hopeful of discovering hope anew.

Abstract

The website presents a poetic meditation on the theme of hope, depicted as having been cast into the vastness of space, beyond the confines of a flat earth, and caught in a cosmic journey. The poem suggests that humanity has willingly let go of hope, entrusting its fate to the Voyager probe, which inadvertently propels hope into a diminished reality. Despite this, the author believes that hope has found a nourishing environment to flourish without the constraints of its previous beneficiaries, who failed to heed its universal wisdom. The narrative is a response to Trisha Traughber's writing prompt on "Hope," and the author expresses a personal sense of loss, yet remains determined to find hope in the world, encouraged by stories of its existence. The author thanks Trisha for providing a platform for their words and acknowledges the audience for their time and attention.

A free verse response to “hope”

Hope has been sucked into the vacuum of space After it dropped off the edge of the flat earth.

Finding itself caught up in the event horizon Holding on for dear life only for Voyager to come along Knocking it into the hole of a diminished reality.

Humanity’s last act to see hope was finally delt with good and proper. They knew that machine would come in useful one day.

I suspect Hope has found a more friendly environment to settle, Full of nourishment for it to blossom without the same hindrance Its former chosen entities with who it lavished generosity upon, Ignored Hope’s universal advise.

I miss you, dear Hope, still, I here stories There are others just like you…

I shall continue my quest to look for your kind In the belief of finding them. I’m sure I will.
